(27) Had.--Or, got.

Riches and honour (or, wealth; k?bod).--Comp. 1Chronicles 29:28 (David); 2Chronicles 1:12 (Solomon), 2Chronicles 17:5; 2Chronicles 18:1 (Jehoshaphat).

He made himself treasuries.--Comp. 2Kings 20:13; Isaiah 39:2, where silver and gold and spices are mentioned among the treasures of Hezekiah. . . .

Verse 27. - If Hezekiah not only began to negotiate, but actually paid the precious metals, etc., with which he offered to buy off the invasion of Sennacherib (2 Kings 18:14-16), he may have become considerably recouped by the presents and gifts subsequently, liberally it would appear, brought to him (see our ver. 23), and it is possible that this may give us some further clue to where it was that his heart strayed, while displaying his wealth and treasures to the messengers of Berodach-Baladan King of Babylon.
